The Torpedo hat is an original I cooked up. The lines created can be done on anything else, so don’t limit yourself to hats!

The Hexagon pattern can be done a couple of ways: smaller hexagons stitched together, or one big hexagon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either by themselves or added to a beanie, headbands are awesome.. This is one example of a headband I made using a half-double crochet.
